The true value

of rammed earth

Your home is one of the most significant investments you will ever make. Rammed earth offers the opportunity for you, as a homeowner, to live in luxurious comfort in a home that is uniquely beautiful. 

Each of our homes is crafted with top-tier materials and cutting-edge building science, ensuring unrivalled durability and energy efficiency. All our homes are passive and net zero ready, and air tight.

When you build with Aerecura, you’re not just buying a house. You’re investing in a home that stands the test of time and contributes to a healthier planet for future generations.

invest in more than just square feet…

Builders typically provide estimates based on a 'cost per square foot' metric. While cost per square foot is a standard, it’s not necessarily a trusted one, and in fact, can often be misleading. This is especially true when comparing our rammed earth homes to other forms of building envelopes.

Here’s why… Let's say the cost to build a turn-key 1200 square foot rammed earth home is $600 per square foot. At Aerecura, this cost reflects our commitment to superior building materials supported by cutting-edge building science. This cost ensures the durability, performance, and sustainability of your home. It also encompasses the fair compensation of our skilled building professionals and craftspeople, recognizing the high-intensity and precision required to build a home where high performance is the standard.

Quotes from other builders often reflect entry-level prices - using entry-level material. They often lack guarantees for durability, performance, and sustainability beyond the minimum requirements of Ontario’s building code. So while a similar square foot home may be quoted at a lower price point, the adage, ''you get what you pay for” holds true.

… Invest in the future of intelligent living.

In a time increasingly defined by environmental consciousness and sustainable living, investing in a rammed earth home is the pinnacle of intelligent decision-making. The return on investment in a rammed earth home is measured not only by its inherent market appeal and resell value, but by its energy savings, climate resilience, and durability. Want to learn more?

  • In home construction, 'high performance'  should mean excellence in every aspect of your living experience. At Aerecura, genuine high performance is built into every home we create. 

    Rammed earth walls offer maximum energy efficiency, thereby reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems and significantly lowering carbon emissions and, of course, energy bills. 

    Unlike the layers of a conventionally built wall with its heavy environmental toll and limited lifespan, each rammed earth wall offers unbeatable efficiency in a single structure. 

  • Rammed earth homes are renowned for their unparalleled longevity, with walls that endure for centuries, far surpassing the lifespan of conventional wall constructions, which require ongoing maintenance and replacement. This enduring durability not only minimizes the need for frequent maintenance, it translates into significant savings in both labor and environmental resources over time.

    With its lasting strength and minimal upkeep requirements, a rammed earth home offers peace of mind and assurance that your investment will stand the test of time.

  • Rammed earth homes are the epitome of climate resilience, naturally withstanding extreme weather events like wildfires, floods, and heatwaves. Their durability reduces the risk of property damage, saving you time, money, and stress.

    At Aerecura, we enhance resilience with features like enhanced insulation and energy-efficient windows, ensuring comfort year-round. With climate-resilient homes in high demand, investing in a rammed earth house not only increases property value but also offers greater protection and sustainability.

    Climate-resilient houses are in growing demand as awareness of climate change and extreme weather risks increases. Investing in a climate-resilient home can increase property value and marketability, as potential buyers recognize the benefits of owning a house that offers greater protection, comfort, and sustainability.
